Readings from Browning.

Mrs. John A. Bellows gave her second
reading from Browning yesterday afternoon
in the presence of an audience that, despite
the storm, filed the lecture hall. The sec
ond reading was as delightful as the first.
Mrs Bellows possesses the advantages of a
clear, musical voice, and an earnestness that
shows how carefully she has studied the
poets meanings. Ladies who have read
Browning and given him up in despair were
astonished to find how readily Mrs. Bellows's
readings explained the hidden meanings and
made all plain to them. Perhaps her hap
piest selections yesterday were "In Con-
dola" and 'The Bishop orders his Tomb at
st. Praxedes."
